Endoscopic excision of os trigonum in posterior ankle impingement reduces complications .
This study has been identified as potentially high impact.
OE's AI-driven High Impact metric estimates the influence a paper is likely to have by integrating signals from both the journal in which it is published and the scientific content of the article itself.
Developed using state-of-the-art natural language processing, the OE High Impact model more accurately predicts a study's future citation performance than journal impact factor alone.
This enables earlier recognition of clinically meaningful research and helps readers focus on articles most likely to shape future practice.
Endoscopic Versus Open Excision of Os Trigonum for the Treatment of Posterior Ankle Impingement Syndrome in an Athletic Population: A Randomized Controlled Study With 5-Year Follow-up
Am J Sports Med. 2017 May;45(6):1388-139452 patients with posterior ankle impingement due to an os trigonum were randomized to either endoscopic or open surgery for excision of the os trigonum. Groups were compared for the incidence of postoperative complications, time to return to training, and time to return to sport. Secondary outcomes also included patient-reported measures of the American Orthopaedic Foot and Ankle hindfoot score for function, and the Visual Analog Score-Foot and Ankle score for pain. Results demonstrated a significantly lower incidence of complications in the endoscopic group compared to the open group, as well as significantly shorter times to return to both training and preinjury sporting level. The endoscopic group also demonstrated significantly better scores compared to the open group on the AOFAS-hindfoot score at 6 months and 5 years, and on the VAS-FA score at 6 months.
